vagabondslave Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 I am traveling to Hood River this weekend and want to climb. I am new to this area and not familiar with what it has to offer. Anyone have any suggestions on what to climb(trad, clip bolts, bouldering) around there? Quote
pcg Posted May 18, 2011 Posted May 18, 2011 Fun bouldering and top roping on solid rock at Horsethief Butte 30 minutes east and across the bridge at The Dalles. Quote
Lodestone Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 The weather is looking kind of iffy for the weekend. If it ends up being dry, Ozone Wall, the Farside/Dropzone, and Broughton Bluff are nice places for cragging. The first two are in WA and Broughton is in OR. All are west of Hood River and are quick to get to. Horsethief Butte misses a lot of Portland's rain, so you could head out there for some bouldering and short routes. Chad Quote
denalidave Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Check out Beacon Rock... d Check it out is about all you can do till July(ish) when the falcon closure is lifted. You can still do a few routes on the north side but they pretty much suck compared to the south side. Quote

Teh Phuzzy Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Bridge of the Gods has some great bouldering, just not a lot. It is close to Hood River though Quote
lazzara Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 There's some new little crag over by Lyle. Visible from the road driving up the Old Lyle Hwy to some area where people hike and trail run (Cahterine Creek TH?). Really close to Hood River and super senic. That place needs some traffic for sure. No idea what the grades are but there seemed to be some moderate routes. Wear a helmet for sure too . . . like hiking up to the base of the wall. Just put it on at the car . . . Quote
